- <p> AND DON'T INVITE LECH AND TADEUSZ to the same party. Most
- Poles realize that Solidarity cannot go on being all things to
- all people: trade union, political party, shaper of the
- country's future. But hopes that the breakup would be amicable
- now look unlikely. The problem stems from an old hero. Lech
- Walesa wants to be President by forcing an early election. But
- most Solidarity legislators seem to prefer remaining in
- government and Prime Minister Tadeusz Mazowiecki. Even though
- his drastic economic reforms have cut living standards as much
- as 40%, polls of Poles show that he is more popular than Walesa.
- Lech is sulking in Gdansk.
